Josie, after so many years I’m so glad we started getting together again with old EPA colleagues. I will miss your keen sense of humor, warm laughter, your gift for spinning a funny story, and above all your joie de vivre. Rest in peace. Leslie

Dear Patti and Debbie, I knew your mom for over twenty years and when she came into the room, the room lit up. Your mom brought gusto and energy and integrity to our work, and sometimes our play. I will really miss her wonderful stories about you and about so many aspects of our work and life. I wish that we all had your mom’s energy and fun way of looking at everyday things. Your lives brought her much happiness and pride.
I am so sorry about the loss of Josie, a great friend, a great Mother and Grandmother. She was one of a kind. I have so many great memories of the times we had, no one could tell a story like Josie. My heart goes out to her family. I miss the thought of having her around. Carolyn Kulik
